Jseob q. miner, Empioysd By Slsa'l.r l. Hol-
linger. Embe.zlss o7OO OF $500 and
DOcamps,

DocAmps.
jacob g. Miller, . travelling salesman for
1enztsr 4 Hollinger, wholesale grocers,
North Prince street, has been detected In
embezzling money from hts employers, and
- lkipped the town. The amount Of the
embexzlement has not yet been fully ascer-
tanned, but at present It sppears TO b from
500 TO $500. Ills mode OF embe ezzlement was
to collect moneys due the drm, give rsceipts
ior the ssme, and make return Of only part
OF the amounts collected, telling his EN-.
ployeis 5 that their debtors were ''shorL" or
max ing some other plausible excuse. His
embezzlements have run through consider
able period Of tune, but 1t wss not until last
Saturday that they were discovered. A
check for $50 given to Miller by one OF Meniz-
er q Hollinger's customers In held by him,
but payment has been stopped.
The last seen OF Miller 20 far q known
was on Monday last whom he was in Colum.
bia He is . young man, not 25 years old,
and II respectfully connected. He leaves q
young vile and two young children, at his
home, 533 West Walnut street His vile,
who 10 daughter OF jacob Griel, is almost
hsart-broken ut the disappearance OF her
husband, and the disgrace which appears To
attach to his name For some time past
Miller has been drinking heavily.

Thero seems to be difference Of opinion In
some quarters n to whether or not the ordi.
nance taxing vehicles imposes . tax on
pleasure carriages and other private convey
ancea Section Of the ordinance reads
"The city treasurer shall keep book In his
office for the purpose, wherein he shall
register oil vehicles and street cars licensed
under this act; and all vehicles used on
the streets Of this city Except those
kept for private use) shall be numbered
coospicuously ON the right hand side there.
of," &c 1t In claimed by some that this
clause exempts private carriages from the
tax Of one dollar imposed by the ordi.
nance ON 'other vehicles" and on the other
hand it is claimed that 1t only exempts them
from being ''numbered o0nspicuously.' u
This question came up in select council when
the ordinance was under discussion, and Il
Was distinctly understood that private car
riages we're not exempt from the 81 tax, bu
only from being numbered. The city au
thorities are acting ON this construction OF th.
law, and will require owners Of private ve
hiclss TO pay the tax.

pockethook in his pants pocket, which
was lying on chair by the side of the
bed. He grasped his pistol and asked
the fellow what he wanted. The thief
asked: ais this Bill Jones' room?" Mr..
Dowdy told him that it was not "BilI
Jones' room," and the fellow disappeared
Mr.. Dowdy then turned over for another
nap, and when he awoke his pocketbook
and the S34l were gone. The money
consisted of three S10A bills, four $40
bills and 81 in silver. When Mr.. Dowdy
was awakened the man was standing at
the foot of his bed and he had chance
to glance over at MIN, but would
hardly recognize him again. The fellow
spoke as though he had gotten into the
wrong room, and with so much com
placency that he was not suspicioned at
the time of being robber. Had Mr..
Dowdy thought the fellow came in to
rob, he could have easily shot him down,
and it is great pity that he did not
cripple the thiei-perhaps he would have
saved some one else from being robbed.
1t was bold piece of work, and the in
dications are the thief has skipped the
town-probably walked out, like the
celebrated burglars, Cameron and Emer-
son, did the time they robbed Mr.. Sol
Lyons safe.
